Complete Works Othmar Schoeck Complete Works commissioned by the Othmar Schoeck Society edited by Beat A. Föllmi Scholarly and critical complete edition of the eminent Swiss composer Othmar Schoeck (1886–1957) in 24 volumes for music scholars and performers As well as a scrupulously edited and newly set musical text, the Edition features a detailed introductory discussion of the genesis and reception history of each work in German and English. Biography Othmar Schoeck is the only twentieth-century Swiss composer to have his works published in a Critical Complete Edition. Schoeck was born in 1886 in Brunnen (Central Switzerland) but spent his entire adult life in Zurich. His musical education was initially acquired at the Zurich Conservatory under Friedrich Hegar and Lothar Kempter. In 1907/08 he attended Max Reger’s master classes in composition in Leipzig. From 1908 he directed several choirs in Zurich, and between 1917 and 1944 he was in charge of the symphony concerts in St Gallen. After returning from Leipzig he rapidly established his name as a composer in Switzerland through his songs, choral works and above all his Violin Concerto. His eight stage works and his major song-cycles brought him renown from the 1920s onwards throughout the German-speaking domain and beyond. Whereas with his one-acter Penthesilea (f.p. 1927) Schoeck was in close touch with the avant-garde of the time, he was more strongly orientated to classicistic trends during the 1930s before achieving a greater spiritualisation and condensation of his musical language in the late works composed after the Second World War. Up to Schoeck’s death in 1957 his works were recognized internationally and performed by distinguished interpreters (such as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau), but during the 1960s they largely disappeared from the concert hall as being “unseasonable.” From the late 1980s onwards one notices a new awakening of interest in Schoeck’s compositions, an interest resulting in numerous widely regarded performances (e.g. Penthesilea, 1999 Lucerne Festival) and a large number of recordings and scholarly publications. The Complete Edition Description of the comprises 24 volumes and Edition includes all the printed and unprinted compositions based on a critical comparison of all accessible sources. In the main section the final version is reproduced in every instance. Earlier versions or variants that can be regarded as alternatives are printed in an appendix or documented elsewhere in the volume. Fragments or works of doubtful authenticity are generally reproduced in facsimile. On the other hand sketches and drafts are not usually printed. An Introduction in German and (from 2001) English provides information about the history and reception of a work and assigns it a place in terms of genre and music history. The Critical Report contains a detailed description of sources, a critique of the sources, a list of variant readings and other special aspects of the transmission. Each volume is rendered more user-friendly, and the Complete Edition more easy to survey, through lists of abbreviations and a list of the frequently quoted literature, as well as an index of persons, places and subjects.

On Volume 21, Small Orchestral Works: “This first installment of the twenty-four-volume complete edition marks a promising beginning with its solid critical integrity and intelligibility of presentation. The critical report placed after the music contains and admirably detailed survey of sources and editorial method… Ravizza has nevertheless produced a model edition of Schoeck’s orchestral music…” James L. Zychowicz, Notes, September 1997 On Volume 22, Orchestral Works: “The other two works it contains, the Präludium Op. 48 and the Festlicher Hymnus Op. 64, have long been unavailable, which makes this volume particularly welcome. The quality of the printing, paper and binding is excellent, and the pub- lisher is to be highly commended for it…” Chris Walton, Music & Letters, No. 80/1, 1999 On Volume 1, Early Lieder: “This extremely reader-friendly volume has been edited scrupulously and tidily. Because it fills a gap regarding access to Schoeck’s early works, it is a long awaited and welcome event for Schoeck scholars and performers alike.” Hanspeter Renggli, Schweizer Musikzeitung, No. 9, 2005 Issue: April 2006 The Complete Edition can Conditions of be purchased through Purchase either a complete or a part (series) subscription.

Notes ON THE MUSIC – TON’S KADEN HENDERSON ON ARTHUR HONEGGER’S RUGBY MATT DINE MATT Full Contact Music Honegger’s second tone poem, entitled Rugby, which we will be hearing today, was composed in 1928. Although it bears the name Rugby, the composer himself insisted that this work was not programmatic in a traditional sense. Despite what Honegger may have said, it takes little imagination to find oneself in the middle of the pitch dodging tack- les left and right from the very first note. Immediately from the downbeat it is apparent that Honegger is not alluding to two-hand-touch rugby, but rather the sport in its full contact, “hold no pris- oners” variety. The very first notes from The Composer the strings hit the audience like a ton of When thinking about the great orches- bricks as the cascading strings sweep us tral tone poems in our repertoire, the into a musical dogpile.

  • Ich Sitze Und Schaue Aus: Genesis, Evolution, and Interpretation Of
    ICH SITZE UND SCHAUE AUS: GENESIS, EVOLUTION, AND INTERPRETATION OF K.A. HARTMANN’S FIRST SYMPHONY by DAVID ALLEN CHAPMAN, JR. (Under the Direction of David Haas) ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to identify the personal forces that motivated the composition of the Karl Amadeus Hartmann’s Symphony no. 1, Versuch eines Requiems, and how these may inform an interpretation of the Symphony today. These issues include the influences that led to Hartmann’s unique style in the 1930s, the politics of the work’s would-be reception in the early years of the Nazi Regime, and the post-war changes in the composer’s own interpretation of the work. The final chapter proposes an interpretive reading of the work as a dramatic monologue by the Allmutter, personified by the alto singer, and who mourns the loss of “her sons, her daughters” in a great and oppressive “misery” – an obvious comment on the cruelty and destruction of the Third Reich. The untexted theme and variations movement is seen as a meaningful gesture of identification with those oppressed by the Regime.

  • Neue Lesarten Zu Othmar Schoeck Am 8
    Schweizer Musikzeitung Nr. 3 / März 2007 5 Neue Lesarten zu Othmar Schoeck Am 8. März hat sich der Todestag des bedeutenden Schweizer Komponisten zum 50. Mal gejährt (SMZ) Über 400 Lieder hat Othmar Schoeck komponiert; dazu kommen acht Opern und einige wenige Kammermusikwerke und Konzerte. Das Gedenkjahr eröffnet zahl- reiche Möglichkeiten, die Vielschichtigkeit seiner Werke zu entdecken. Zudem erinnert eine Wanderausstellung an die grossen Leistungen des Komponisten. Verena Naegele Als «letzter Liedmeister» oder gar als «letzter Ro- mantiker» wird Othmar Schoeck in klischeehaf- ter Vereinfachung gerne genannt; eine Bezeich- nung, die allerdings zu kurz greift. Neben dem Liedlyriker gibt es auch noch den Operndrama- tiker, der nicht weniger als acht Werke der Gattung hinterlassen hat. Und auch wenn nur wenige Kammermusikwerke existieren, so hat Schoeck doch zwei gewichtige Violinsonaten, zwei Streichquartette, und dazu so bedeutende konzertante Werke wie das Violinkonzert oder das Hornkonzert komponiert. Gar keinen Sinn hatte Schoeck hingegen für das Pädagogische. Von ihm gibt es nur ganz wenige Klavierstücke, Othmar Schoeck mit der Sängerin Julia Moor (Tinti in Massimilla Doni) und Karl Schmid-Bloss, dem Direktor und auch die sind anspruchsvoll.

Scholars have long critiqued the most common tropes regarding the aesthetics of opera during the Third Reich—Richard Wagner around the clock, enforced militaristic kitsch, neo-Romantic bombast—and rejected the idea that the Reich’s bureaucratic efforts to control culture had as homogenizing an effect on German music as historians once thought.1 These tropes, which strategically alienated “Nazi music” from the historical teleology of Classical music and our common sense of musical “quality,” further enabled other, more pernicious myths to flourish: that great music is always autonomous, not political; that “Nazi” art (debased, instrumentalized) was something obviously distinct from “German” art (great, A version of this essay was first presented at the MIT Works in Progress Series and at the annual meeting of the American Musicological Society in Pittsburgh (November 2013).
